Both college boys are home this week – yea!! Even though my grocery bill triples I love having them home.
We are spending the week at the beach – my favorite week of the year. (In fact we are there right now, while you are reading this!)
This time Logan is bringing a friend with him, a female friend. We are excited to meet her and we hope she likes us!
We decided that we should put a Wilkes Family Survival Kit together for her – a kit to help her survive us!
Before you get the wrong idea – we are NOT the Family Stone but like every family we do have our quirks.
We put a few items into the survival kit that might help her get to know us a little bit better.
The kit includes the following:
A cute beach bag – how can you go to the beach without a cute bag!
A pair of sunglasses and a rain poncho – you never know which one you will need in Oregon in the summer.
A First-Aid kit – Logan has a bit of a history of causing injury to past girlfriends. He broke the shoulder of one and crashed a motorbike with another one. (All were accidents of course!)
Flip Flops – We hope she’ll Flip over us – and that we won’t be a Flop!
Kit Kat Bar – in case of emergency remove wrapper and eat (her favorite candy bar)
Popcorn with a package of M & M’s - the only way the Wilkes family eats popcorn!
Sand bucket and shovel – We hope she’ll have fun playing on the beach with us.
An Oregon baseball cap - She’ll fit right in!
Deck of cards – You can’t spend much time with the Wilkes if you are not a card player – if she’s not, we’ll teach her how!
A scented candle called “Beach House” – Welcome to the Beach House
Welcome to Oregon Becca!
OMG!!! I love it!!! How sweet is that!!! I hope that Becca falls in love with the thought that you put into this for her. My son is only 13, but I will put this in the back of my mind when he decides he wants to bring a girl home.
Thanks for the morning smile!
xxoo

Just an update to let you know Becca LOVED IT! She and Logan arrived after midnight on Monday night and it was waiting for her on her bed – she even took a picture of it – I like her!!
This seems a whole lot nicer than the interrogation dinner we have. But we both know you are a whole lot nicer than I am.
Seriously, it is adorable and should we ever allow a date to accompany one of our lovelies on a family vacation, I’m filing this away as a clever idea. I will call you and have you make one and send to us so we can impress the date!!
That is just so wonderful – I just love to hear about stuff like this. She will remember that forever.
This all sounds so fun…
and things sound serious with Logan and Becca!
Start clearing the calendar!
